The Biggest Financial Scandal in History—And You May Be Part of It: Roger Robinson

[RUSH TRANSCRIPT BELOW] Tens of millions of Americans are unwittingly investing in Chinese companies involved in military weapon production, surveillance technologies, and egregious human rights abuses, says former Reagan adviser Roger Robinson.
Through a complex web of investment vehicles and regulatory loopholes, Americans are pouring trillions of dollars into companies that directly threaten American national security, including ones blacklisted by the U.S. government—often without even knowing. Chinese companies often make up the bulk of index funds like emerging markets funds that many Americans invest in.
“You have … companies that are responsible for manufacturing China’s most advanced weapon systems,” Robinson says. “We’re funding, in some ways, our own demise.”
During the Reagan administration, Robinson served as senior director of international economic affairs at the National Security Council, where he played a linchpin role in Reagan’s economic strategy against the Soviet Union. He’s the co-founder of the Prague Security Studies Institute and former Chairman of the Congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission

TARIFFS – THE RETURN OF POWER

Saturday, April 5th, 2025

 

The Reckoning Begins: Trump’s Tariffs and the Return of Power

They called it a trade war. Trump called it leverage. Now the clueless class is about to learn what economic warfare really looks like.
By Sara Carter Staff   April 5, 2025

We were cruising at 32,000 feet when the conversation caught my ear. Two men in their 60s, wearing golf shirts and sneakers—no laptops, no earbuds—just confidently exchanging opinions somewhere over Georgia, halfway through their Bloody Marys.

“I don’t get it,” one said. “Trump’s going to slap tariffs on everything again? That’s just going to drive up prices.”

The other nodded, with the certainty of someone who’d never been challenged. “It’s the same thing all over—tax the American consumer and pretend it’s tough on China.”

They didn’t whisper. They weren’t unsure. They were loud, certain, and completely wrong.

I didn’t say a word. But I wanted to. Not because I crave debate—but because I’m tired of watching this country get gaslit by a class of people who stopped thinking critically the minute CNN started thinking for them.

This is where The Reckoning begins.
Not in the headlines. Not in Washington. But at 32,000 feet, in a casual conversation that revealed just how badly the American people have been lied to.

Because tariffs aren’t taxes.
They’re tools.
They’re leverage.
They’re how you say no to a global system built to exploit us—and yes, to the American worker we nearly lost.

Tariffs: The Tool the Left Pretends Not to Understand

Here’s the truth no one at the cocktail parties wants to say out loud: tariffs are not taxes on Americans. That’s a lie told by people who either don’t understand economics—or don’t care who’s getting steamrolled, as long as their stock portfolio stays padded.

A tariff is a penalty. It’s a strategic toll on products that come into this country under unfair terms. It’s how we say, “You want access to our markets? Then play fair. Otherwise, pay up.”

Think of it like this: If someone’s dumping cheap steel into your town and undercutting every local business, what do you do? You don’t say “Let the free market sort it out” while your factories shut down and your neighbors lose their jobs. You block the dump truck. You protect your own. You draw a line.

That’s what President Trump is doing. And it’s working.

They Called It a Trade War—But It Was a Wake-Up Call

TRUMP- 50 DAYS 50 WINS

Friday, March 14th, 2025

 

Trump Administration Celebrates a Whopping 50 Wins in 50 Days!

March 10, 2025   By Paula Bolyard
It’s been an epic 50 days, with President Trump and his administration notching win after win after win. And the president shows no signs of stopping. The White House sent out a press release on Monday celebrating the things Trump has accomplished for the American people, including securing the border, bringing back American hostages, reinstating with back pay soldiers who had been discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, and making it the policy of the United States that there are only two genders. He’s even giving us our plastic straws back!

Here is the complete list. I’m sure it will brighten your Monday!

1.    President Trump secured the border in unprecedented fashion.

  • Illegal border crossings have declined to the lowest level ever recorded — down 94% from last February and down 96% from the all-time high of the Biden Administration. In one sector, illegal border crossings are down 99% over 2023.
  • Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin: “If Fox were to send me down there right now, I would have trouble finding a single migrant on camera.”
  • CBS immigration reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez: “Typically, when we go to the U.S./Mexico border, we at least see one group of people who are trying to cross into the U.S. illegally. We did not see a single migrant.”

2.    President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law.

  • The law requires illegal immigrants arrested or charged with theft or violence to be detained — honoring the memory of Laken Riley, a Georgia college student brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant released into the country.

3.    President Trump is deporting illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and drug dealers en masse.

  • The list of illegal immigrant criminals arrested and set for deportation include convicted killers, child molesters, child pornographers, gang members, terrorists, and drug traffickers.

4.    President Trump’s tariffs are leveling the playing field for American workers.

  • President Trump restored a 25% tariff on steel imports and elevated the tariff to 25% on aluminum imports to protect these critical American industries from unfair foreign competition – a move praised by the Steel Manufacturers Association, the Aluminum Association, and businesses across the country.
  • President Trump unveiled a plan for fair and reciprocal trade, making clear to the world that the United States will no longer tolerate being ripped off.

5.    President Trump is taking on the fentanyl crisis.

  • President Trump implemented an additional 10% tariff on imports from China in order to stem the flow of illegal aliens and fentanyl.
  • President Trump forced Mexico and Canada to address the fentanyl being trafficked into our country.

6.    President Trump has secured billions of dollars in new U.S.-based investments.

  • Apple announced a historic $500 billion investment that will create 20,000 new U.S.-based jobs.
  • TSMC announced an unprecedented $100 billion investment in U.S.-based semiconductor chip manufacturing.
  • President Trump announced the largest artificial intelligence infrastructure project in history, securing $500 billion in planned private sector investment — with major CEOs agreeing it would not have been possible without President Trump’s leadership.
  • President Trump secured a $20 billion investment by DAMAC Properties to build new U.S.-based data centers.
  • CMA CGM announced a $20 billion investment in U.S. shipbuilding and logistics, which will create 10,000 new jobs.
  • Eli Lilly and Company announced a $27 billion investment in its U.S.-based manufacturing.
  • The Trump Administration announced an $18 billion investment by American liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter Venture Global into their Plaquemines LNG export facility — made possible by President Trump’s energy policies.
  • Wisconsin-based Clarios, a leader in low-voltage energy storage, announced a $6 billion plan to expand its U.S.-based manufacturing.
  • Saudi Arabia declared its intention to invest $600 billion in the United States over the next four years.
  • Taiwan pledged to boost its investment in the United States.

BIDEN PARDONS CONVICTED CHINESE SPY

The Most Corrupt Administration In American History2 Just Got Even Worse

By Sam Faddis  December 13, 2024

You might think that the Biden administration had already hit rock bottom. Pardoning Hunter seemed like it set the bar in terms of sleaze. Surely, even Beijing Biden could not go any lower.

But, of course, he has.

Yanjun Xu is a Chinese intelligence officer. He was sent to the United States to target American companies and steal defense secrets. His job was to acquire intelligence that would allow the Chinese to win a war against us and kill our servicemen and women. He set up a network of sources in the United States in pursuit of this objective. Xu was caught, prosecuted, and imprisoned.

“As proven at trial, the defendant, a Chinese government intelligence officer, used a range of techniques to attempt to steal technology and proprietary information from companies based in both the U.S. and abroad,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland at the time of the conviction. “Today’s sentence demonstrates the seriousness of those crimes and the Justice Department’s determination to investigate and prosecute efforts by the Chinese government, or any foreign power, to threaten our economic and national security.”

Joe Biden just pardoned Xu and ordered him released from custody.

WORLD WAR III IS COMING, U.S. MILITARY NOT PREPARED

World War III Coming Soon, U.S. Military Woefully Unprepared

by Gordon G. Chang

Gordon G. Chang is the author of The Coming Collapse of China and China Is Going to War, a Gatestone Institute distinguished senior fellow, and a member of its Advisory Board.
August 6, 2024

  • “The Commission finds that DoD’s business practices, byzantine research and development and procurement systems, reliance on decades-old military hardware, and culture of risk avoidance reflect an era of uncontested military dominance… Such methods are not suited to today’s strategic environment…. The U.S. public are largely unaware of the dangers the United States faces or the costs (financial and otherwise) required to adequately prepare,” — Commission on the National Defense Strategy, July 29, 2024.
  • “The Department’s usual laser focus on mission has been supplanted by Marxist-inspired instruction, an eradication of meritocracy in favor of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion promotion programs, with an extra emphasis placed on administration fetishes like climate change… The Chinese, Russian, North Korean, and Iranian militaries are not burdened by such nonsense.” — Blaine Holt, former US Air Force brigadier general, to Gatestone Institute, August 5, 2024.
  • Unfortunately, Biden has not addressed the American people in a comprehensive and meaningful way about the greatest threat they face.
  • The Commission on the National Defense Strategy is clear on what must be done: “A bipartisan ‘call to arms’ is urgently needed so that the United States can make the major changes and significant investments now rather than wait for the next Pearl Harbor or 9/11.”
  • It is unlikely, however, that bad actors will give America a decade more to prepare.

PACKS OF FIGHTING AGE MEN IN MILITARY UNIFORMS ENTERING U.S.

Packs of “Fighting Age Males” in Military Uniforms Entering U.S. through Remote Arizona Town

CC border

As the nation’s largest southern border crossings finally receive mainstream media coverage years into an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis, untold numbers of “fighting age males” dressed in military uniforms are entering the United States through remote areas with no Border Patrol presence. It is a palpable security lapse unlikely to be reported by most news outlets and local, federal, and state law enforcement sources have provided Judicial Watch with detailed accounts, reports, diagrams, and photos of the situation which is terrorizing residents in a once harmonious Arizona town just a few miles from Mexico. They blame the Biden administration’s catastrophic open border policies for the serious problems that have gripped the area in the last few years.

The Santa Cruz and Pima County regions in southwestern Arizona have been slammed with extraordinary violence and crime fueled by Mexican cartels—smuggling drugs and humans—that are victimizing fourth and fifth-generation cattle farmers who have captured thousands of illegal immigrants on security cameras passing through their property since Joe Biden became president. Sometimes they find dead bodies and drug paraphernalia. “Violent activity has drastically increased over the past three years since the border is now perceived to be wide open,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch this week, adding that in the communities of Amado and Arivaca American citizens feel much less safe than they did when Donald Trump was president. Both are cattle ranching towns with small populations that are diminishing because of the increased violence. Amado is nestled in the Santa Cruz River Valley about 29 miles from the Mexican border. Arivaca is situated southwest of Amado about 11 miles from Nogales, Mexico.

Saudi Arabia Chooses Chinese Yuan Over US Dollar: Global Markets React

June 16, 2024

The 50-year Petrodollar era between Saudi Arabia and the United States has ended. The emergence of the Chinese yuan as a challenger to the dollar’s dominance raises interest.

Reports from foreign media and industry sources on the 14th reveal that the Petrodollar agreement between Saudi Arabia and the United States expired on the 9th. This is due to Saudi Arabia’s decision not to renew the agreement.

In 1974, the two countries entered a Petrodollar agreement, using only dollars for oil payments, while the United States assumed responsibility for Saudi Arabia’s security.

Oil-producing countries in the Middle East, which supply oil globally, established the so-called Petrodollar recycling mechanism by reinvesting dollars in U.S. Treasury bonds and financial markets. This process further solidified the Petrodollar system, reinforcing the status of the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency and securing the power to control the global oil market.

ROSS RANT – JUNE 4, 2024

Monday, June 10th, 2024

 

If you are unfamiliar with the Ross Rant, this link will provide information on Joel Ross, the author of the newsletter  https://rossrant.wordpress.com/about/

Nancy  

I often read the Ross Rant since he seems to have great insights on a huge range of fronts.  I found this particular “Rant” to be extremely insightful.  As with almost all his posts, it is a long read but it sure puts things together in a cogent fashion.

 ROSS RANT

 I hate conspiracy theories, but we all need to look at what is transpiring, and the conspiracy is there for all to see. Put aside all the illegal aspects of how the Trump trial was conducted, and focus instead on the overall bigger picture, and what is really happening. There is a grand scheme to consolidate power in the White House with someone organizing what is, in fact, a non-violent attempt at assumption and retention of power. First, they attacked a lot of the tea party groups by illegally using the IRS when Obama first came to office. They get Trump impeached with the phony dossier. They almost succeeded with the ignorant help of the left-wing press. When that did not work, they tried the impeachment route again on new false claims about a phone call. In 2020, Sanders almost got the primary victory. They needed an easily manipulated Biden to win, and to be the puppet Obama could control by getting many of his senior staff into the top positions in the White House.  Clyburn was tasked to manage rounding up the black votes and get Biden a win. They supposedly made some deal with Sanders to implement some of his far-left agenda, which they have done.  I believe Biden really won the 2020 election even though there were cases of voter fraud, ballot harvesting, no voter ID, same day registration, and mail in ballots. With Biden in the White House, Obama was able to plant Susan Rice, Blinken, Sullivan and others in key jobs, and control policy. It is not clear if Biden even realized what was happening, or he was able to be convinced to have them as his advisors since he had worked closely with them for several years. Now Rice has disappeared for some reason.  Don’t you find it odd that she was this very powerful and very high-profile public person, and now she has just disappeared from sight. Keep in mind congress has paid out millions to cover up affairs and misdeeds by Congressmen. If they prosecuted every CEO who had an affair with an employee, and then paid to keep it quiet, we would have a lot of CEOs in jail. We still do not know exactly what crime he is guilty of as the jury never made that clear.

Now it is 2024, and Trump is in the lead, and Biden Harris is a very weak slate. The Bragg case, according to every objective experienced lawyer who has opined, including Dershowitz, has said the entire case is completely not only without any merit, and was run by a judge who made numerous major errors, but is clearly a set up with the judge being selected outside of normal court routine. The jury instructions were essentially a directed verdict. In another case, the Dems rolled out the woman who accused Trump of sexual assault 20 years ago, well beyond the statute of limitations, and they had the NY State legislature change the statute to allow that case to go forward. The real estate fraud case is total crap. Nobody was damaged at all. Every bank was fully repaid on time. Under banking regs, banks are responsible these days to get their own independent appraisals, and to do their own valuations.  That case is as concocted and staged as the Bragg case. It was designed to bankrupt Trump. And then there is the documents case, which it seems has real flaws with an illegally appointed special prosecutor, and the GA case with the prosecutor who has real issues of conflict. All four of the prosecutors went to the White House and met with the lawyers there before filing charges, and then Bragg gets the number 3 official in DOJ to leave his high-level job and become a low-level local prosecutor for this case. Nobody does that. Recall the 51 intel officials who signed a letter saying the laptop was Russian disinformation, and now that laptop is the proof they will use to convict Hunter. There are also the continuing efforts to get Thomas off the court, and now Alito, and to expand the court with Biden appointments. SCOTUS is all that stands between them and saving our nation. If Trump loses, we will lose the Supreme Court and our liberties. Lastly, they have open borders so they can have millions of illegals vote by mail to be ballot harvested with no voter ID. A few dollars to the illegals and they will sign a ballot. That is exactly how LBJ won his TX governor election. It is also how Daley did it in Chicago, and how JFK became the unelected president. Obama learned from Daley. This is going to be Chicago and LBJ revisited. Taken altogether, this is the latest effort by the Dems to get rid of Trump, and to get total control. Piece all of this together for yourself, and you have a many year’s conspiracy, and an attempt to get full control of the government by Obama and Clinton, but mainly Obama. This is the real threat to democracy. A series of events of this nature and magnitude does not happen without someone planning and directing it-Obama. It is all funded by Arabella. If you are old enough you recall Beria, the secret police chief under Stalin.  “Show me the man and I will show you the crime.” You just witnessed this.
